Welcome

The Lake Tahoe Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is a science-based plan to restore Lake Tahoe's famous clarity. One of the most robust efforts of its kind, the Lake Tahoe TMDL was initiated to better understand the causes of clarity loss, determine how much pollution needs to be reduced and develop a sensible implementation approach to restore historic clarity. The Lake Tahoe Info Stormwater Tools are used to track Lake Tahoe TMDL implementation progress in urbanized portions of the watershed. Current TMDL implementation achievements are provided in the chart; further context about the tools is provided below.

Progress Towards Water Year 2018 Program Targets

The Lake Tahoe Stormwater Tools serve as the comprehensive pollutant load reduction accounting system of the Lake Clarity Crediting Program for urban stormwater.The Tools include:
